12 For though they nourish their sons, I have made them childless—without man, || Surely also, woe to them when I turn aside from them. 13 Ephraim! When I have looked to the rock, || Is planted in comeliness, || And Ephraim [is] to bring out his sons to a slayer. 14 Give to them, YHWH—what do You give? Give to them miscarrying womb, and dry breasts. 15 All their evil [is] in Gilgal, || Surely there I have hated them, || Because of the evil of their doings, || Out of My house I drive them, || I no longer love them, || All their heads [are] apostates. 16 Ephraim has been struck, || Their root has dried up, they do not yield fruit, || Indeed, though they bring forth, || I have put to death the desired of their womb. 17 My God rejects them, || Because they have not listened to Him, || And they are wanderers among nations!” Hosea 9:12-17, Literal Standard Version.
